Divendres, 11
de desembre, al CEHIC (UAB), a les 12:00 hrs. Nélia Dias i
Fernando Vidal (Professor ICREA del CEHIC) presentaran el
llibre:
The notion of Endangerment stands at the heart
of a network of concepts, values and practices dealing with
objects and beings considered threatened by extinction, and
with the procedures aimed at preserving them. Usually
animated by a sense of urgency and citizenship, identifying
endangered entities involves evaluating an impending threat
and opens the way for preservation strategies.
Endangerment, Biodiversity and Culture looks at some of the fundamental ways in which
this process involves science, but also more than science:
not only data and knowledge and institutions, but also
affects and values. Focusing on an "endangerment
sensibility," it encapsulates tensions between the normative
and the utilitarian, the natural and the cultural. The
chapters situate that specifically modern sensibility in
historical perspective, and examine central aspects of its
recent and present forms. This timely volume
offers the most cutting-edge insights into the Environmental
Humanities for researchers working in
Environmental Studies, History, Anthropology, Sociology and
Science and Technology Studies.
Fernando Vidal (ICREA Professor, CEHIC-UAB) has worked on various topics in the history of
the human sciences, including the early development of
psychology and anthropology, sexuality in the 18th century,
psychoanalysis and psychiatry in the early 20th century, the
progressive education movement in the interwar years, and
miracles and science in the early modern period and the
Enlightenment. His publications include Piaget Before
Piaget (1994), an edition of Jean
Starobinski’s writings on the history of the body (Las
razones del cuerpo, 1999), The
Moral Authority of Nature (2004,
co-edited with Lorraine Daston), Believing
Nature, Knowing God (a
thematic issue of Science
in Context, 2007, co-edited with
